(together the “Initial Businesses”) by means of entering into a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2006 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Compass Group Investments, Inc., Compass CS Partners, L.P., Compass CS II Partners, L.P., Compass Crosman Partners, L.P., Compass Advanced Partners, L.P. and Compass Silvue Partners, LP.

The information set forth in Item 2.03 of this Form 8-K is hereby incorporated herein by reference with respect to the Financing Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2006 (the “Financing Agreement”), by and among Compass Group Diversified Holdings LLC, the lenders from time to time party thereto, Ableco Finance LLC, Collateral Agent, and Ableco Finance LLC, as administrative agent.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On May 16, 2006, the Company acquired controlling interests in the following four businesses pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Acquisitions”):

• approximately 97.6% of CBS Personnel Holdings, Inc. (“CBS Personnel”) on a primary basis, without giving effect to conversion of any convertible securities, and approximately 94.4% on a fully diluted basis, after giving effect to the exercise of vested and in the money options and vested non-contingent warrants (as applicable);

• approximately 75.4% of Crosman Acquisition Corporation (“Crosman”) on a primary and fully diluted basis;

• approximately 70.2% of Compass AC Holdings, Inc. (“Advanced Circuits”) on a primary and fully diluted basis; and

• approximately 73.0% of Silvue Technologies Group, Inc. (“Silvue”) on a primary and fully diluted basis, after giving effect to the conversion of preferred stock of Silvue the Company acquired.

The Company acquired these controlling interests from various wholly owned subsidiaries of Compass Group Investment, Inc. (“CGI”) and certain other minority shareholders. The remaining equity interests in each of the Initial Businesses will be held by the respective senior management teams of each of the Initial Businesses, as well as certain other minority shareholders.

The Company paid an aggregate of approximately $140.8 million for the purchase of the above controlling interests in the following manner:

• approximately $54.6 million for controlling interest in CBS Personnel;

• approximately $26.9 million for controlling interest in Crosman;

• approximately $35.3 million for controlling interest in Advanced Circuits; and

• approximately $24.0 million for controlling interest in Silvue.

The acquisition of these controlling interests was funded with (i) the net proceeds from the initial public offering of 13.5 million shares (the “Shares”) of Compass Diversified Trust (the “Trust”), with each Share representing an undivided beneficial interest in the Trust property, (ii) the proceeds from separate private placement transactions with respect to the sale of 6 million Shares, as discussed in Item 3.02, and (iii) a borrowing under the Financing Agreement, as discussed in Item 2.03. A portion of the proceeds discussed in the preceding sentence were also used to make loans to each of the Initial Businesses, which loans were used to repay outstanding indebtedness, make certain redemptions of securities and provide capitalization. CGI realized a gain of approximately $75.8 million on the sale of its interests in the above businesses. With respect to financial statements and pro forma financials in connection with the acquisitions, please see section 9.01 hereto.

At the close of the acquisition, the Company’s board of directors engaged Compass Group Management LLC (the “Manager”) to externally manage the day-to-day operations and affairs of the Company, oversee the management and operations of the Initial Businesses and to perform those services customarily performed by executive officers of a public company.

The foregoing discussion of the Acquisitions and the Stock Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company’s and Trust’s prospectus, dated May 10, 2006 (the “Prospectus”), which was filed on May 11, 2006 and is included in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Nos. 333-130326; 333-130326-01) of the Company and the Trust (the “Registration Statement”), and the Stock Purchase Agreement filed as exhibit 2.1 thereto. The information set forth in the Prospectus relating to the Acquisitions and the Stock Purchase Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference herein, and the foregoing discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to such discussion in the Prospectus.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

On May 16, 2006, the Company entered into the Financing Agreement, which is a $225.0 million secured credit facility with Ableco Finance LLC, as collateral and administrative agent. Specifically, the Financing Agreement provides for a $60.0 million revolving line of credit commitment, a $50.0 million term loan and a $115.0 million delayed draw term loan commitment. Outstanding indebtedness under the Financing Agreement will mature on May 16, 2011. The Company intends to use the Financing Agreement to provide for its working capital needs, the working capital needs of its Initial Businesses and to pursue acquisitions of additional businesses.

Indebtedness under the Financing Agreement bears interest at rates equal to the London Interbank Offer Rate, or LIBOR, plus a spread ranging from 4.25% to 5.50%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio (as defined in the Financing Agreement) at the time of borrowing. The interest rate will increase by 2.0% above the highest applicable rate during any period when an event of default under the Financing Agreement has occurred and is continuing. In addition, the Company will pay commitment fees ranging between 1.0% and 1.5% per annum on the unused portion of the $60.0 million revolving line of credit and a rate ranging between 1.0% and 2.0% on the unused portion of the $115.0 million delayed draw term loan, which rates will adjust downwards as such loans are drawn. The Company will pay letter of credit override fees at a rate ranging between 1.0% and 1.5% of the aggregate amount of letters of credit outstanding at any business, which rate will adjust downward based on the amount drawn on the revolving line of credit.

On May 16, 2006, the Company borrowed the full amount available under the $50 million term loan in connection with its acquisition of controlling interests in the four Initial Businesses. The Company may borrow under the delayed draw term loan at any time, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, from May 16, 2006 until May 16, 2009.

The Financing Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on all the assets of the Company, including, but not limited to, the capital stock of the Initial Businesses, cash and other assets. The Financing Agreement also requires that the loan agreements between the company and its businesses be secured by a first priority lien on the assets of the businesses subject to the letters of credit issued by third party lenders on behalf of such Initial Businesses.

The Company is subject to certain affirmative and restrictive covenants arising under the Financing Agreement, including, among other customary covenants that require the Company:

• to maintain minimum levels of cash flow and coverage of fixed charges;

• to leverage new businesses it acquires to a minimum specified level at the time of acquisition;

• to keep the total debt to cash flow at or below a ratio of 3 to 1; and

In addition, the Company is only permitted to make acquisitions that satisfy certain specified minimum criteria. A breach of any of these covenants will be an event of default under the Financing Agreement, among other customary events of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lender will have the right to accelerate the maturity of any indebtedness outstanding under the Financing Agreement, the Company may be prohibited from making any distributions to its shareholders and will be subject to additional restrictions, prohibitions and limitations.

The Company has the ability to voluntarily prepay up to approximately $50 million of the Financing Agreement without penalty provided that the Company does not elect to terminate the commitments under the Financing Agreement in connection with such prepayment. If any amount in excess of $50 million is voluntarily prepaid or if the Company elects to terminate the commitments under the Financing Agreement, the Company is required to pay a premium ranging from 4% if the prepayment occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the closing of the Financing Agreement, which premium decreases to 2% after the first anniversary and on or prior to the second anniversary and 1% after the second anniversary and on or prior to third anniversary thereof. After the third anniversary of the closing of the Financing Agreement, there will be no prepayment penalty.

The Company incurred approximately $6.4 million in fees and costs for the arranging of the Financing Agreement, which was paid to the arranger of the Financing Agreement, Ableco Finance LLC.

The foregoing discussion of the Financing Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms and provisions of the Financing Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.25.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On May 16, 2006, the Company completed the sale of 5,733,333 Shares to CGI Diversified Holdings, LP (“CGI DH”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CGI, for consideration of $85,999,995 pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

               (ii) The aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan made on the Effective Date shall not exceed the Total Term Loan Commitment. Any principal amount of the Term Loan that is repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

               (iii) The aggregate principal amount of the Delayed Draw Term Loans made hereunder shall not exceed the lower of (A) the result of (1) the Total Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment minus (2) the sum of the L/C Reserve and the Permitted Indebtedness Reserve and (B) the result of (1) the then extant Borrowing Base, minus (2) the sum of (x) the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan, and (y) the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans. Any principal amount of any Delayed Draw Term Loan that is repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

     Section 2.02 Making the Loans. (a) The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior telephonic notice (immediately confirmed in writing, in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.01(b)(ii) hereto (a “Notice of Borrowing”)), not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date which is, in the case of a Revolving Loan that is a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Delayed Draw Term Loan, 3 Business Days, and in the case of a Revolving Loan that is a Reference Rate Loan, 1 Business Day, prior to the date of the proposed Loan (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent is willing, in its sole discretion, to accommodate from time to time). Such Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the principal amount of the proposed Loan, (ii) the proposed borrowing date, which must be a Business Day, and, with respect to the Term Loan, must be the Effective Date. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may act without liability upon the basis of written, telecopied or telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from the Borrower (or from any Authorized Officer thereof designated in writing purportedly from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent). The Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of any such telephonic Notice of Borrowing. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any Authorized Officer’s authority to request a Loan on behalf of the Borrower until the Administrative Agent receives written notice to the contrary. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on any written Notice of Borrowing.

          (b) Each Notice of Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be irrevocable and the Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith. Each Revolving Loan shall be made in a minimum amount of $500,000 and shall be in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Delayed Draw Term Loan shall be made in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

- 36 -

          (c) (i) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.02(c), all Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their Pro Rata Shares of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, the Total Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment, and the Total Term Loan Commitment, as the case may be, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligations to make a Loan requested hereunder, nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of the default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans required to be made by it by the terms of this Agreement regardless of the failure by any other Lender.

               (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and in order to reduce the number of fund transfers among the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders, the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), and the Borrower and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to, fund, on behalf of the Lenders with a Revolving Credit Commitment, Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.01, subject to the procedures for settlement set forth in Section 2.02(d); provided, however, that (a) the Administrative Agent shall in no event fund any such Revolving Loans if the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders prior to the time of the proposed Revolving Loan that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 5.02 will not be satisfied at the time of the proposed Revolving Loan, and (b) the Administrative Agent shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent in Section 5.02 have been satisfied. If the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing requesting a Revolving Loan and the Administrative Agent elects not to fund such Revolving Loan on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders, then promptly after receipt of the Notice of Borrowing requesting such Revolving Loan, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Loan Lender of the specifics of the requested Revolving Loan and that it will not fund the requested Revolving Loan on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders. If the Administrative Agent notifies the Revolving Loan Lenders that it will not fund a requested Revolving Loan on behalf of such Revolving Loan Lenders, each Revolving Loan Lender shall make its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, at the Payment Office no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) (provided that the Administrative Agent requests payment from such Revolving Loan Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time)) on the date of the proposed Revolving Loan. The Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of such Revolving Loans available to the Borrower on the day of the proposed Revolving Loan by causing an amount, in immediately available funds, equal to the proceeds of all such Revolving Loans received by the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office or the amount funded by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders to be deposited in an account designated by the Borrower.

               (iii) If the Administrative Agent has notified the Revolving Loan Lenders that the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Revolving Loan Lenders, will fund a particular Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(ii), the Administrative Agent may assume that each such Revolving Loan Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such day and the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to, cause a corresponding amount to be made available to the Borrower on

- 37 -

such day. If the Administrative Agent makes such corresponding amount available to the Borrower and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by any such Revolving Loan Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Revolving Loan Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for 3 Business Days and thereafter at the Reference Rate. During the period in which such Revolving Loan Lender has not paid such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the amount so advanced by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower shall, for all purposes hereof, be a Revolving Loan made by the Administrative Agent for its own account. Upon any such failure by a Revolving Loan Lender to pay the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Borrower of such failure and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent for its own account.

               (iv) Nothing in this Section 2.02(c) shall be deemed to relieve any Revolving Loan Lender from its obligations to fulfill its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Revolving Loan Lender as a result of any default by such Revolving Loan Lender hereunder.

          (d) (i) With respect to all periods for which the Administrative Agent has funded Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.02(c), on Friday of each week, or if the applicable Friday is not a Business Day, then on the following Business Day, or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may from time to time select (any such week or shorter period being herein called a “Settlement Period”), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Loan Lender of the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding as of the last day of each such Settlement Period. In the event that such amount is greater than the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding on the last day of the Settlement Period immediately preceding such Settlement Period (or, if there has been no preceding Settlement Period, the amount of the Revolving Loans made on the date of such Revolving Loan Lender’s initial funding), each Revolving Loan Lender shall promptly (and in any event not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) if the Administrative Agent requests payment from such Lender not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on such day) make available to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the difference in immediately available funds. In the event that such amount is less than such unpaid principal amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay over to each Revolving Loan Lender its Pro Rata Share of the difference in immediately available funds. In addition, if the Administrative Agent shall so request at any time when a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or any other event shall have occurred as a result of which the Administrative Agent shall determine that it is desirable to present claims against the Borrower for repayment, each Revolving Loan Lender shall promptly remit to the Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to each Revolving Loan Lender, sufficient funds to adjust the interests of the Revolving Loan Lenders in the then outstanding Revolving Loans to such an extent that, after giving effect to such adjustment, each such Revolving Loan Lender’s interest in the then outstanding Revolving Loans will be equal to its Pro Rata Share thereof. The obligations of the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Loan Lender under this

- 38 -

Section 2.02(d) shall be absolute and unconditional. Each Revolving Loan Lender shall only be entitled to receive interest on its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans which have been funded by such Revolving Loan Lender.

               (ii) In the event that any Revolving Loan Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.02(d)(i), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Revolving Loan Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for 3 Business Days and thereafter at the Reference Rate. During the period in which such Revolving Loan Lender has not paid such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the amount so advanced by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower shall, for all purposes hereof, be a Revolving Loan made by the Administrative Agent for its own account. Upon any such failure by a Revolving Loan Lender to pay the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Borrower of such failure and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent for its own account. Nothing in this Section 2.02(d)(ii) shall be deemed to relieve any Revolving Loan Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Revolving Loan Lender as a result of any default by such Revolving Loan Lender hereunder.

     Section 2.03 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The outstanding principal of all Revolving Loans shall be due and payable on the Final Maturity Date.

          (b) The outstanding principal of the Term Loan shall be repaid in full on the earlier of (i) the termination of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and (ii) the Final Maturity Date.

          (c) The outstanding principal of the Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be repaid in full on the earlier of (i) the termination of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and (ii) the Final Maturity Date.

          (d) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

          (e) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

          (f) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (d) or (e) of this Section 2.03 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the

- 39 -

Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (g) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in a form furnished by the Collateral Agent and reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 12.07) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

     Section 2.04 Interest. (a) Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Loan shall bear interest on the principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding, from the date of such Loan until such principal is repaid, as follows: (i) if the relevant Revolving Loan is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the applicable LIBOR Rate Margin, and (ii) otherwise, at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate plus the applicable Reference Rate Margin.

          (b) Term Loan. The Term Loan shall bear interest on the principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding, from the date of the making of the Term Loan until such principal amount is repaid, as follows: (i) if the relevant portion of the Term Loan is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin, and (ii) otherwise, at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate plus the Reference Rate Margin.

          (c) Delayed Draw Term Loans. Each Delayed Draw Term Loan shall bear interest on the principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding, from the date of such Delayed Draw Term Loan until such principal amount is repaid, as follows: (i) if the relevant Delayed Draw Term Loan is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the applicable LIBOR Rate Margin, and (ii) otherwise, at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate plus the applicable Reference Rate Margin.

          (d) Default Interest. To the extent permitted by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all Loans, fees, indemnities, or any other Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall bear interest, from the date such Event of Default occurred until the date such Event of Default is cured or waived in writing in accordance herewith, at a rate per annum equal at all times to the Post-Default Rate.

          (e) LIBOR Option.

               (i) Interest. In lieu of having interest charged at the rate based upon the Reference Rate, the Borrower shall have the option (the “LIBOR Option”) to have interest on all or a portion of the Loans be charged at a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR

- 40 -

Rate. On the last day of each applicable Interest Period, unless the Borrower properly has exercised the LIBOR Option with respect thereto, the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall convert to the rate of interest then applicable to Reference Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower no longer shall have the option to request that Loans bear interest at the LIBOR Rate and Administrative Agent shall have the right to convert the interest rate on all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans to the rate then applicable to Reference Rate Loans hereunder.

               (ii) LIBOR Election.

                    (A) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, elect to exercise the LIBOR Option by notifying Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least 3 Business Days prior to the commencement of the proposed Interest Period (the “LIBOR Deadline”). Notice of the Borrower’s election of the LIBOR Option for a permitted portion of the Loans and an Interest Period pursuant to this Section shall be made by delivery to Administrative Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Administrative Agent before the LIBOR Deadline. Promptly upon its receipt of each such LIBOR Notice, Administrative Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of the Lenders having a Commitment of the type to which such LIBOR Notice relates.

                    (B) Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of (1) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (2) the conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (3) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any LIBOR Notice delivered pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, and expenses, collectively, “Funding Losses”). Funding Losses shall, with respect to Administrative Agent or any Lender, be deemed to equal the amount determined by Administrative Agent or such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable thereto, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period therefor), minus (y) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which Administrative Agent or such Lender would be offered were it to be offered, at the commencement of such period, Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period in the London interbank market. A certificate of Administrative Agent or a Lender delivered to the Borrower setting forth any amount or amounts that Administrative Agent or

- 41 -

such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

                    (C) The Borrower shall have not more than 10 LIBOR Rate Loans in effect at any given time. The Borrower only may exercise the LIBOR Option for LIBOR Rate Loans of at least $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.

               (iii) Prepayments. The Borrower may prepay LIBOR Rate Loans at any time without premium or penalty (other than with respect to Funding Losses as set forth above, and except as otherwise set forth in the Fee Letter); provided, however, that in the event that LIBOR Rate Loans are prepaid on any date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a result of any automatic prepayment through the required application by Administrative Agent of proceeds of Collections in accordance with Section 4.04 or for any other reason, including early termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any portion of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, the Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their participants harmless against any and all Funding Losses in accordance with subsection (ii) above.

               (iv) Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate.

                    (A) The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Administrative Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs due to changes in applicable law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including changes in tax laws (except changes of general applicability in corporate income tax laws) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), excluding the Reserve Percentage, which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give the Borrower and Administrative Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and Administrative Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, the Borrower may, by notice to such affected Lender (1) require such Lender to furnish to the Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (2) repay the LIBOR Rate Loans with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due under subsection (ii)(B) above).

                    (B) In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such

- 42 -

Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Administrative Agent and the Borrower and Administrative Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and (1) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and interest upon the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Reference Rate Loans, and (2) the Borrower shall not be entitled to elect the LIBOR Option until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so.

               (v) No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Administrative Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their participants, is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate. The provisions of this Section shall apply as if each Lender or its participants had match funded any Obligation as to which interest is accruing at the LIBOR Rate by acquiring eurodollar deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans.

          (f) Interest Payment. Interest on each Loan shall be payable monthly, in arrears, on the first day of each month, commencing on the first day of the month following the month in which such Loan is made and at maturity (whether upon demand, by acceleration or otherwise). Interest at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable on demand. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, charge the Loan Account pursuant to Section 4.02 with the amount of any interest payment due hereunder.

          (g) General. All interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days, including the first day but excluding the last day, elapsed.

     Section 2.05 Reduction of Commitment; Prepayment of Loans.

          (a) Reduction of Commitments.

               (i) Revolving Credit Commitments. The Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall terminate on the Final Maturity Date. Once reduced, the Total Revolving Credit Commitment may not be increased.

               (ii) Term Loan. The Total Term Loan Commitment shall terminate upon the making of the Term Loan on the Effective Date.

               (iii) Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments. The Total Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment shall terminate on the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Expiry Date. Upon the making of a Delayed Draw Term Loan, the Total Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment shall be reduced by the amount of such Delayed Draw Term Loan. Once reduced, the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment may not be increased. Each such reduction of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment shall reduce the Delayed Draw

- 43 -

Term Loan Commitment of each Lender proportionately in accordance with its Pro Rata Share thereof.

          (b) Optional Prepayment.

               (i) Revolving Loans. The Borrower may prepay without penalty or premium the principal of any Revolving Loan, in whole or in part.

               (ii) Term Loan. The Borrower may, upon at least 5 Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay without penalty or premium (except as otherwise set forth in the Fee Letter) the principal of the Term Loan, in whole or in part. Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(ii) shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid.

               (iii) Delayed Draw Term Loan. The Borrower may, upon at least 5 Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay without penalty or premium (except as otherwise set forth in the Fee Letter) the principal of the Delayed Draw Term Loans, in whole or in part. Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(iii) shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid.

          (c) Mandatory Prepayment.

               (i) The Borrower will immediately prepay the Loans at any time when the aggregate principal amount of all Loans exceeds the then extant Borrowing Base, to the full extent of any such excess. On each day that any Loans are outstanding, the Borrower shall hereby be deemed to represent and warrant to the Agents and the Lenders that the Borrowing Base calculated as of such day equals or exceeds the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding on such day.

               (ii) The Borrower will immediately prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loans in the event that the Total Revolving Credit Commitment is terminated for any reason.

               (iii) [intentionally omitted].

               (iv) [intentionally omitted].

               (v) Immediately upon receipt of any proceeds of any Disposition by the Borrower (or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of a Portfolio Company), the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Borrower (or the Portfolio Company in the case of a sale of all or substantially all of its assets) in connection with such Disposition (or the Portfolio Company in the case of a sale of all or substantially all of its assets). Nothing contained in this clause (v) shall permit the Borrower to make a Disposition of any property other than a Permitted Disposition.

- 44 -

               (vi) Upon the issuance or incurrence by the Borrower of any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness), or the sale or issuance by the Borrower of any shares of its Capital Stock, the Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Borrower in connection therewith. The provisions of this subsection (vi) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance, incurrence or sale otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

               (vii) Upon the receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Extraordinary Receipts, the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal of the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Extraordinary Receipts, net of any reasonable expenses incurred in collecting such Extraordinary Receipts.

          (d) Application of Payments.

               (i) Each prepayment made pursuant to subsections (c)(v), (c)(vi) or (c)(vii) above shall be applied to the Revolving Loans, until paid in full. Each prepayment made pursuant to subsection (c)(i) above shall be applied first to the Revolving Loans, second to the Term Loan and third to the Delayed Draw Term Loan.

               (ii) The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower shall not be required to make a prepayment otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(v) or Section 2.05(c)(vii) with Reinvestment Eligible Funds so long as: (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date such Person receives such Reinvestment Eligible Funds or on the date such amounts are to be released to Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.05(d)(ii), (B) the Borrower delivers a notice (a “Reinvestment Notice”) on or prior to the date that the applicable Person receives the monies constituting such Reinvestment Eligible Funds notifying the Agents of the intent of the applicable Person to use such Reinvestment Eligible Funds (1) to repair, restore, or replace the assets that were the subject of the Disposition, casualty or condemnation giving rise to such amounts with assets of equal or greater fair market value which will be useful in the conduct of their business in accordance with past practice, (2) within the period specified in such notice, which period shall not to exceed the earlier of (x) 180 days after the receipt of such Reinvestment Eligible Funds by the applicable Person and (y) the Final Maturity Date, and (C) pending the reinvestment described in clause (B)(1) above, such Reinvestment Eligible Amounts are deposited in a cash collateral account over which Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) or the Borrower (in the case of a Disposition involving assets or Extraordinary Receipts of a Portfolio Company) has a perfected first-priority Lien. If all or any portion of such Reinvestment Eligible Funds are not used in accordance with the preceding sentence within the period specified in the Reinvestment Notice, the remaining portion shall be applied to the Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(d)(i) on the last day of such specified period.

          (e) Interest and Fees. Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.05 (other than prepayments made pursuant to subsections (c)(i), and (c)(ii) of this Section 2.05) shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment, and if such prepayment would reduce the amount of the outstanding Loans to zero at a time when the Total Revolving Credit Commitment has been

- 45 -

terminated, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of all fees accrued to such date pursuant to Section 2.06.

          (f) Cumulative Prepayments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.05, payments with respect to any subsection of this Section 2.05 are in addition to payments made or required to be made under any other subsection of this Section 2.05.

     Section 2.06 Fees. In addition to the fees set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent the fees set forth in the Fee Letter in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the Fee Letter.

     Section 2.07 Securitization. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Lenders and their Affiliates may sell or securitize the Loans (a “Securitization”) through the pledge of the Loans as collateral security for loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or through the sale of the Loans or the issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Loans, which loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or direct or indirect interests will be rated by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s or one or more other rating agencies (the “Rating Agencies”). The Borrower shall cooperate with the Lenders and their Affiliates to effect the Securitization including by (a) amending this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and executing such additional documents, as reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with the Securitization, provided that (i) any such amendment or additional documentation does not impose material additional costs on the Borrower and (ii) any such amendment or additional documentation does not materially adversely affect the rights, or materially increase the obligations, of the Borrower under the Loan Documents or change or affect in a manner adverse to the Borrower the financial terms of the Loans, (b) providing such information as may be reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with the rating of the Loans or the Securitization, and (c) providing in connection with any rating of the Loans a certificate (i) agreeing to indemnify the Lenders and their Affiliates, any of the Rating Agencies, or any party providing credit support or otherwise participating in the Securitization (collectively, the “Securitization Parties”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (the “Liabilities”) to which the Lenders, their Affiliates or such Securitization Parties may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Loan Document or in any writing delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower to any Agent or Lender in connection with any Loan Document or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and such indemnity shall survive any transfer by the Lenders or their successors or assigns of the Loans and (ii) agreeing to reimburse the Agents, the Lenders and their Affiliates for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Persons in connection with defending the Liabilities.

     Section 2.08 Taxes.

     (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on the net income of any Agent or any Lender (or any transferee or assignee thereof, including a participation holder (any such entity, a “Transferee”)) by the

- 46 -

jurisdiction in which such Person is organized or has its principal lending office (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges withholdings and liabilities, collectively or individually, “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Agent or any Lender (or any Transferee), (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an “additional amount”) necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.08) such Agent or such Lender (or such Transferee) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

     (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (“Other Taxes”). The Borrower shall deliver to each Agent and each Lender official receipts in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes payable hereunder promptly after payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

     (c) The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and agrees to hold each Agent and each Lender harmless from and against Taxes and Other Taxes (including, Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on any amounts payable under this Section 2.08) paid by such Person, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Such indemnification shall be paid within 10 days from the date on which any such Person makes written demand therefore specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

     (d) Each Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) agrees that it shall, no later than the Effective Date (or, in the case of a Lender which becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 12.07 after the Effective Date, promptly after the date upon which such Lender becomes a party hereto) deliver to the Agents (or, in the case of a participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) a properly completed and duly executed copy of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8IMY or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, in each case claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax and payments of interest hereunder. In addition, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, such Non-U.S. Lender hereby represents to the Agents and the Borrower that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of the Trust and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Trust (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code), and such Non-U.S. Lender agrees that it shall promptly notify the Agents in the event any such representation is no longer accurate. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a “New Lending Office”). In addition, such Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms within 20 days after receipt of a written request therefor from any Agent, the assigning Lender or the Lender granting a participation, as

- 47 -

applicable. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.08, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.08(d) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

     (e) The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender, or pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender, in respect of United States Federal withholding tax pursuant to this Section 2.08 to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States Federal withholding tax existed on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on the date such participation holder became a Transferee hereunder) or, with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Non-U.S. Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to a Loan; provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any Transferee, or Lender (or Transferee) through a New Lending Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (i)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the Person making the assignment, participation or transfer to such Transferee, or Lender (or Transferee) making the designation of such New Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or designation, or (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Lender to comply with the provisions of clause (d) above.

     (f) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.08 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

FEES, PAYMENTS AND OTHER COMPENSATION

     Section 4.01 Audit and Collateral Monitoring Fees. The Borrower acknowledges that pursuant to Section 7.01(f), representatives of the Agents may visit the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or conduct audits, inspections or field examinations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and valuations or appraisals of any or all of the Collateral or the Intercompany Loan Collateral or business or enterprise valuations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at any time and from time to time in a manner so as to not unduly disrupt the business of such Person. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) $1,500 per day per examiner plus the examiner’s out-of-pocket costs and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with all such visits, audits, inspections, valuations, and field examinations and (ii) the cost of all audits, appraisals and business valuations (including enterprise valuation appraisals) conducted by third party auditors or appraisers on behalf of the Agents; provided, however, that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be required to reimburse the Agents for more than two audits, appraisals or valuations (which shall include not

- 48 -

more than one business valuation) with respect to Borrower or any Portfolio Company during any Fiscal Year.

     Section 4.02 Payments; Computations and Statements. (a) The Borrower will make each payment under this Agreement not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the day when due, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent’s Account. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon (New York City time) on any Business Day will be credited to the Loan Account on the next succeeding Business Day. All payments shall be made by the Borrower without set-off, counterclaim, deduction or other defense to the Agents and the Lenders. Except as provided in Section 2.02, after receipt, the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal ratably to the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided that the Administrative Agent will cause to be distributed all interest and fees received from or for the account of the Borrower not less than once each month and in any event promptly after receipt thereof. The Lenders and the Borrower hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, charge the Loan Account of the Borrower with any amount due and payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document. Each of the Lenders and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to make such charges whether or not any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or whether any of the conditions precedent in Section 5.02 have been satisfied. Any amount charged to the Loan Account of the Borrower shall be deemed a Revolving Loan hereunder made by the Revolving Loan Lenders to the Borrower, funded by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders and subject to Section 2.02 of this Agreement. The Lenders and the Borrowers confirm that any charges which the Administrative Agent may so make to the Loan Account of the Borrowers as herein provided will be made as an accommodation to the Borrowers and solely at the Administrative Agent’s discretion, provided that the Administrative Agent shall from time to time upon the request of the Collateral Agent, charge the Loan Account of the Borrowers with any amount due and payable under any Loan Document. Whenever any payment to be made under any such Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. All computations of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fees hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes in the absence of manifest error.

          (b) The Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower, promptly after the end of each calendar month, a summary statement (in the form from time to time used by the Administrative Agent) of the opening and closing daily balances in the Loan Account of the Borrower during such month, the amounts and dates of all Loans made to the Borrower during such month, the amounts and dates of all payments on account of the Loans to the Borrower during such month and the Loans to which such payments were applied, the amount of interest accrued on the Loans to the Borrower during such

- 49 -

month, the amount of charges to the Loan Account, and the amount and nature of any charges to the Loan Account made during such month on account of fees, commissions, expenses and other Obligations. All entries on any such statement shall be presumed to be correct and, 30 days after the same is sent, shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error.

     Section 4.03 Sharing of Payments, Etc. Except as provided in Section 2.02 hereof, if any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of any Obligation in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of similar obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in such similar obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender of any interest or other amount paid by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered). The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 4.03 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights (including the Lender’s right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

     Section 4.04 Apportionment of Payments. Subject to Section 2.02 hereof and to any written agreement among the Agents or the Lenders:

          (a) all payments of principal and interest in respect of outstanding Loans, all payments of fees (other than the audit and collateral monitoring fees provided for in Section 4.01) and all other payments in respect of any other Obligations, shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares or otherwise as provided herein or, in respect of payments not made on account of Loans as designated by the Person making payment when the payment is made.

          (b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all proceeds of the Collateral, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, (i) first, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts then due to the Agents until paid in full; (ii) second, ratably to pay any fees and indemnities then due to the Revolving Loan Lenders until paid in full; (iii) third, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Revolving Loans, and Collateral Agent Advances until paid in full; (iv) fourth, ratably to pay principal of the Revolving Loans, and Collateral Agent Advances until paid in full; (v) fifth, ratably to pay any fees and indemnities then due to the Term Loan Lenders until paid in full; (vi) sixth, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Term Loan until paid in full; (vii) seventh, ratably to pay principal of the Term Loan until paid in full, (viii) eighth, ratably to pay any fees and indemnities then due to the Delayed Draw Term Loan Lenders until paid in full; (ix) ninth, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Delayed Draw Term Loans until paid in full; (x) tenth, ratably to pay principal

of the Delayed Draw Term Loans until paid in full, and (xi) eleventh, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations then due and payable.

          (c) In each instance, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Section 4.04(b) shall not be deemed to apply to any payment by the Borrower specified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent to be for the payment of Term Loan Obligations or Delayed Draw Term Loan Obligations then due and payable under any provision of this Agreement or the prepayment of all or part of the principal of the Term Loan or Delayed Draw Term Loans in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.05.

          (d) For purposes of Section 4.04(b), (other than clause (viii) thereof) “paid in full” means with respect to any Obligations, payment of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents in respect of such Obligations, including fees, interest, default interest, interest on interest, expense reimbursements and indemnities, specifically including in each case any of the foregoing which would accrue after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding irrespective of whether a claim is allowable in such Insolvency Proceeding, except to the extent that default or overdue interest (but not any other interest) and fees, each arising from or related to a default, are disallowed in any Insolvency Proceeding; provided, however, that for purposes of such clause (viii), “paid in full” means with respect to any Obligations, payment of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents in respect of such Obligations, including fees, interest, default interest, interest on interest, expense reimbursements and indemnities, specifically including in each case any of the foregoing which would accrue after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding irrespective of whether a claim is allowable in such Insolvency Proceeding.

          (e) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 4.04 and other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that both such priority provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 4.04 shall control and govern.

     Section 4.05 Increased Costs and Reduced Return. (a) If any Lender or any Agent shall have determined that the adoption or implementation of, or any change in, any law, rule, treaty or regulation, or any policy, guideline or directive of, or any change in, the interpretation or administration thereof by, any court, central bank or other administrative or Governmental Authority, or compliance by any Lender or any Agent or any Person controlling any such Lender or any such Agent with any directive of, or guideline from, any central bank or other Governmental Authority or the introduction of, or change in, any accounting principles applicable to any Lender, any Agent or any Person controlling any such Lender, any such Agent (in each case, whether or not having the force of law) (each, a “Change in Law”), shall (i) subject any Lender, any Agent or any Person controlling any such Lender or any such Agent to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to this Agreement or any Loan made by such Lender or such Agent or change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender, any Agent or any Person controlling any such Lender or any such Agent of any amounts payable hereunder (except for taxes on the overall net income of any Lender, any Agent or any Person controlling any such Lender or any such Agent), (ii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit

- 51 -

or similar requirement against any Loan, or against assets of or held by, or deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender, any Agent or any Person controlling any such Lender or any such Agent or (iii) impose on any Lender, any Agent or any Person controlling any such Lender or any such Agent any other condition regarding this Agreement or any Loan, and the result of any event referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be to increase the cost to any Lender or any Agent of making any Loan, or agreeing to make any Loan or to reduce any amount received or receivable by any Lender or any Agent hereunder, then, upon demand by any such Lender or any such Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Agent such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender, or such Agent for such increased costs or reductions in amount.

          (b) If any Lender or any Agent shall have determined that any Change in Law either (i) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender, any Agent or any Person controlling such Lender or such Agent and any Lender or any Agent determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a direct or indirect consequence of any Loans made or maintained, any Lender’s, any Agent’s or any such other controlling Person’s other obligations hereunder, or (ii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender’s or any Agent’s any such other controlling Person’s capital to a level below that which such Lender, such Agent or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such circumstances as a consequence of any Loans made or maintained, or any agreement to make Loans, or such Lender’s, such Agent’s or such other controlling Person’s other obligations hereunder (in each case, taking into consideration, such Lender’s, or such Agent’s or such other controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon demand by any Lender or any Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Agent from time to time such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Agent for such cost of maintaining such increased capital or such reduction in the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Agent’s or such other controlling Person’s capital.

          (c) All amounts payable under this Section 4.05 shall bear interest from the date that is ten (10) days after the date of demand by any Lender or any Agent until payment in full to such Lender or such Agent at the Reference Rate. A certificate of such Lender or such Agent claiming compensation under this Section 4.05, specifying the event herein above described and the nature of such event shall be submitted by such Lender or such Agent to the Borrower, setting forth the additional amount due and an explanation of the calculation thereof, and such Lender’s or such Agent’s reasons for invoking the provisions of this Section 4.05, and shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error.

The Borrower shall irrevocably instruct its Portfolio Companies to remit all payments to be made by them to Borrower, whether by means of checks or other drafts or by wire transfer or by Automated Clearing House, Inc. payment, to a Blocked Account and shall instruct the Blocked Account Bank to deposit all amounts received by it to a Blocked Account at such Blocked Account Bank on the day received or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day. All checks, drafts, notes, money orders, acceptances, cash and other evidences of Indebtedness received directly by the Borrower from any Account Debtor, as proceeds from its Accounts Receivable or Payment Intangibles, or as proceeds of any other Collateral or Intercompany Loan Collateral, shall be held by the Borrower in trust and upon receipt be deposited by the Borrower in original form and no later than the next Business Day

- 80 -

after receipt thereof into a Blocked Account. The Borrower shall not commingle such collections with its own funds or with the proceeds of any assets not included in the Collateral or Intercompany Loan Collateral. All funds received in the Blocked Accounts, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon request by Collateral Agent, shall be sent by wire transfer or Automated Clearing House, Inc. payment to the Payment Office to be credited to the Administrative Agent’s Account for application at the end of each Business Day when such funds are received in Administrative Agent’s Account to reduce the then principal balance of the Loans in accordance with Section 4.04, conditional upon final payment to the Administrative Agent. No checks, drafts or other instruments received by the Administrative Agent shall constitute final payment to the Administrative Agent unless and until such checks, drafts or instruments have actually been collected.

               (b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may send a notice of assignment or notice of security interest to any and all of the Borrower’s Account Debtors and, thereafter, the Collateral Agent shall have the sole right to collect the Accounts Receivable and Payment Intangibles of the Borrower or take possession of the Collateral and the books and records relating thereto. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall not, without prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, grant any extension of time of payment of any Account Receivable or Payment Intangible, compromise or settle any Account Receivable or Payment Intangible for less than the full amount thereof, release, in whole or in part, any Person or property liable for the payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon.

               (c) The Borrower hereby appoints each Agent or its designee on behalf of such Agent as the Borrower’s attorney-in-fact with power exercisable during the continuance of an Event of Default to (i) endorse the Borrower’s name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Accounts Receivable or Payment Intangibles of the Borrower, (ii) sign the Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Accounts Receivable or Payment Intangibles of the Borrower, drafts against Account Debtors with respect to Accounts Receivable or Payment Intangibles of the Borrower, assignments and verifications of Accounts Receivable or Payment Intangibles and notices to Account Debtors with respect to Accounts Receivable or Payment Intangibles of the Borrower, (iii) send verification of Accounts Receivable of the Borrower, and (iv) notify the Postal Service authorities to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to the Borrower to such address as such Agent may designate and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement.

               (d) Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute any Agent as agent of the Borrower for any purpose whatsoever, and the Agents shall not be responsible or liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause thereof (other than from

- 81 -

acts of omission or commission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). The Agents shall not, under any circumstance or in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of the Accounts Receivable of the Borrower or any instrument received in payment thereof or for any damage resulting therefrom (other than acts of omission or commission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). The Agents, by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, do not assume any of the obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to any Agent and shall not be responsible in any way for the performance by the Borrower of any of the terms and conditions thereof.

               (e) Collateral Agent hereby agrees that, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, upon the prior written request of Borrower, Collateral Agent shall consent to the transfer of all or a portion of the Restricted Cash from the Restricted Account as requested by Borrower solely to (i) fund a voluntary prepayment of the Term Loan or the Delayed Draw Term Loans, or (ii) partially fund a Permitted Post-Effective Date Acquisition. Borrower and the Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that, unless Collateral Agent agrees otherwise in the exercise its sole and absolute discretion, the Restricted Cash shall not be used for any other purpose.

               (f) If any Account Receivable or Payment Intangible of the Borrower includes a charge for any tax payable to any Governmental Authority, each Agent is hereby authorized (but in no event obligated) in its discretion to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the Borrower’s account and to charge the Borrower therefor. The Borrower shall notify the Agents if any Account Receivable or Payment Intangible of the Borrower includes any taxes due to any such Governmental Authority and, in the absence of such notice, the Agents shall have the right to retain the full proceeds of such Account Receivable or Payment Intangible and shall not be liable for any taxes that may be due by reason of such Account Receivable or Payment Intangible.

               (g) Notwithstanding any other terms set forth in the Loan Documents, the rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders herein provided, and the obligations of the Borrower set forth herein, are cumulative of, may be exercised singly or concurrently with, and are not exclusive of, any other rights, remedies or obligations set forth in any other Loan Document or as provided by law.

- 87 -

provided that the Agents shall not have any liability to the Lenders for any Agent’s inadvertent failure to distribute any such notices or agreements to the Lenders; (iii) to maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Loans, and related matters and to maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Collateral and related matters; (iv) to execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (v) to make the Loans and Collateral Agent Advances, for such Agent or on behalf of the applicable Lenders as provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (vi) to perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lenders with respect to the Borrower, the Obligations, or otherwise related to any of same to the extent reasonably incidental to the exercise by such Agent of the rights and remedies specifically authorized to be exercised by such Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (vii) to incur and pay such fees necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (viii) subject to Section 10.03 of this Agreement, to take such action as such Agent deems appropriate on its behalf to administer the Loans and the Loan Documents and to exercise such other powers delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or the other Loan Documents (including the power to give or to refuse to give notices, waivers, consents, approvals and instructions and the power to make or to refuse to make determinations and calculations) together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes hereof and thereof. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection of the Loans), the Agents shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions of the Required Lenders shall be binding upon all Lenders and all makers of Loans.

          Section 10.02 Nature of Duties. The Agents shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents. The duties of the Agents shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. The Agents shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Agents any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and the value of the Collateral, and the Agents shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into their possession before the initial Loan hereunder or at any time or times thereafter, provided that, upon the reasonable request of a Lender, each Agent shall provide to such Lender any documents or reports delivered to such Agent by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If any Agent seeks the consent or approval of the Required Lenders to the taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder, such Agent shall send notice thereof to each Lender. Each Agent

- 88 -

shall promptly notify each Lender any time that the Required Lenders have instructed such Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.

          Section 10.03 Rights, Exculpation, Etc. The Agents and their directors, officers, agents or employees shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents (i) may treat the payee of any Loan as the owner thereof until the Collateral Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, pursuant to Section 12.07 hereof, signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to any Agent or counsel to the Borrower), independent public accountants, and other experts selected by any of them and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by any of them in accordance with the advice of such counsel or experts; (iii) make no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, certificates, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any Person, the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default, or to inspect the Collateral or other property (including the books and records) of any Person; (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (vi) shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by the Borrower in connection therewith, nor shall the Agents be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. The provisions of this Section 10.03 are subject to, and shall not limit in any respect, the provisions of Section 12.07. The Agents shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made in good faith pursuant to Section 4.04, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount which they are determined to be entitled. The Agents may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents the Agents are permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the Agents shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval under any of the Loan Documents until they shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

          Section 10.04 Reliance. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper

- 89 -

Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.

          Section 10.05 Indemnification. To the extent that any Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify such Agent from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, including advances and disbursements made pursuant to Section 10.08; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements for which there has been a final judicial determination that such liability resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.05 shall survive the payment in full of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement.

          Section 10.06 Agents Individually. With respect to its Pro Rata Share of the Total Commitment hereunder and the Loans made by it, each Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or maker of a Loan. The terms “Lenders” or “Required Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Required Lenders. Each Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower as if it were not acting as an Agent pursuant hereto without any duty to account to the other Lenders.

          Section 10.07 Successor Agent. (a) Each Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at any time by giving at least 30 Business Days prior written notice to the Borrower and each Lender. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

               (b) Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After any Agent’s resignation hereunder as an Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

               (c) If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within said thirty (30) Business Day period, the retiring Agent, with the consent of the other Agent shall then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as an Agent until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders, with the consent of the other Agent, appoint a successor Agent as provided above.

- 90 -

          Section 10.08 Collateral Matters.

               (a) The Collateral Agent may from time to time make such disbursements and advances (“Collateral Agent Advances”) which the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve, protect, prepare for sale or lease or dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof, to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by the Borrower of the Loans, and other Obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 12.04. The Collateral Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand and be secured by the Collateral. The Collateral Agent Advances shall constitute Obligations hereunder which may be charged to the Loan Account in accordance with Section 4.02. The Collateral Agent shall notify each Lender and the Borrower in writing of each such Collateral Agent Advance, which notice shall include a description of the purpose of such Collateral Agent Advance. Without limitation to its obligations pursuant to Section 10.05, each Lender agrees that it shall make available to the Collateral Agent, upon the Collateral Agent’s demand, in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such Collateral Agent Advance. If such funds are not made available to the Collateral Agent by such Lender, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Collateral Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for 3 Business Days and thereafter at the Reference Rate.

               (b) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral upon termination of the Total Commitment and payment in full in cash of all Obligations; or constituting property being sold or disposed of in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; or constituting property in which the Borrower owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Lenders. Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.08(b).

               (c) Without in any manner limiting the Collateral Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by the Lenders (as set forth in Section 10.08(b)), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by the Collateral Agent, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon the Collateral Agent under Section 10.08(b). Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of confirmation from the Lenders of its authority to release any particular item or types of Collateral, and upon prior written request by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Collateral Agent’s opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligations or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Lien upon (or obligations of the Borrower in respect of) all interests in the Collateral retained by the Borrower.

- 91 -

               (d) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document has been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or is entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 10.08 or in any other Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Lender, except as otherwise provided herein.

          Section 10.09 Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each Agent and each other Lender as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Code, can be perfected only by possession or control (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession or control has priority over the security interest of another secured party) and each Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges that it holds possession or control of any such Collateral for the benefit of the Collateral Agent as secured party. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions. The Borrower by its execution and delivery of this Agreement hereby consents to the foregoing.

          (b) Each Lender may with the written consent of the Collateral Agent, assign to one or more other lenders or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to all or a portion of its Commitment and Loans made by it; provided, however, that (i) such assignment is in an amount which is at least $5,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or the remainder of such Lender’s Commitment) and (ii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, for its acceptance, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any promissory note subject to such assignment and such parties shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, a processing and recordation fee of $5,000 (except the payment of such fee shall not be required (y) in connection with an assignment by a Lender to a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or to a Related Fund of such Lender or (z) if Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, waives payment of such fee). Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least 3 Business Days after the delivery thereof to the Collateral Agent (or such shorter period as shall be agreed to by the Collateral Agent and the parties to such assignment), (A) the assignee thereunder shall become a “Lender” hereunder and, in addition to the rights and obligations hereunder held by it immediately prior to such effective date, have the rights and obligations hereunder that have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

          (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other documents and information it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the assigning Lender, any Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in

- 97 -

taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agents to take such action as agents on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agents by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental hereto and thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

          (d) The Collateral Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain, or cause to be maintained at the Payment Office, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and the principal amount of the Loans (and stated interest thereon) (the “Registered Loans”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (e) Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of an Assignment and Acceptance, and subject to any consent required from the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 12.07(b) (which consent of the Collateral Agent must be evidenced by the Collateral Agent’s execution of an acceptance to such Assignment and Acceptance), the Collateral Agent shall accept the Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register.

          (f) A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register, together with the surrender of the registered note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale duly executed by) the holder of such registered note, whereupon, at the request of the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new registered notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s). Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same), the Agents shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

          (g) In the event that any Lender sells participations in a Registered Loan, such Lender shall maintain a register for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower on which it enters the name of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Registered Loan that is the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”). A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide).

- 98 -

Any participation of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. Any such Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (h) Any Non-U.S. Lender who is assigned an interest in any portion of such Registered Loan pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance shall comply with Section 2.08(d).

          (i) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, all or a portion of its Commitments or the Loans made by it); provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation, its Commitments hereunder) and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and (iii) a participant shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except (A) action directly effecting an extension of the maturity dates or decrease in the principal amount of the Loans, (B) action directly effecting an extension of the due dates or a decrease in the rate of interest payable on the Loans or the fees payable under this Agreement, or (C) actions directly effecting a release of all or a substantial portion of the Collateral or the Borrower (except as set forth in Section 10.08 of this Agreement or any other Loan Document). The Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.08 and Section 4.05 of this Agreement with respect to its participation in any portion of the Commitments and the Loans as if it was a Lender.

          Section 12.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.

          Section 12.09 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN ANOTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN RESPECT OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          Section 12.10 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS AND VENUE. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE

- 99 -

STATE OF NEW YORK IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT COLLATERAL AGENT’S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE COLLATERAL AGENT ELECTS TO BRING SUCH ACTION OR WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL LEGAL PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICES, AND DOCUMENTS IN ANY SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY THE MAILING (BY REGISTERED MAIL OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID) OR DELIVERING OF A COPY OF SUCH PROCESS TO THE BORROWER, C/O THE BORROWER, AT THE BORROWER’S ADDRESS FOR NOTICES AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12.01. THE BORROWER AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST THE BORROWER IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE JURISDICTION OR LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE BORROWER HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

          Section 12.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. THE BORROWER, EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM CONCERNING ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, WAIVER, CONSENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR OTHER AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH IN THE FUTURE MAY BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, OR ARISING FROM ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS

- 100 -

AGREEMENT, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, PROCEEDINGS OR COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. THE BORROWER CERTIFIES THAT NO OFFICER, REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS. THE BORROWER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

          Section 12.12 Consent by the Agents and Lenders. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein to the contrary, if the consent, approval, satisfaction, determination, judgment, acceptance or similar action (an “Action”) of any Agent or any Lender shall be permitted or required pursuant to any provision hereof or any provision of any other agreement to which the Borrower is a party and to which any Agent or any Lender has succeeded thereto, such Action shall be required to be in writing and may be withheld or denied by such Agent or such Lender, in its sole discretion, with or without any reason, and without being subject to question or challenge on the grounds that such Action was not taken in good faith.

          Section 12.13 No Party Deemed Drafter. Each of the parties hereto agrees that no party hereto shall be deemed to be the drafter of this Agreement.

          Section 12.14 Reinstatement; Certain Payments. If any claim is ever made upon any Agent or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by such Agent or such Lender in payment or on account of any of the Obligations, such Agent or such Lender shall give prompt notice of such claim to each other Agent and Lender and the Borrower, and if such Agent or such Lender repays all or part of such amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such Agent or such Lender or any of its property, or (ii) any good faith settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such Agent, such Lender with any such claimant, then and in such event the Borrower agrees that (A) any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon it notwithstanding the cancellation of any Indebtedness hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or the termination of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (B) it shall be and remain liable to such Agent or such Lender hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by such Agent or such Lender.

          Section 12.15 Indemnification. In addition to the Borrower’s other Obligations under this Agreement, the Borrower agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, each Lender and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents (collectively called the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Indemnitees, whether prior to or from and after the Effective Date, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or relating to or in connection with any of the following: (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution or performance or enforcement of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or of any other document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated

- 101 -

by this Agreement, (ii) any Agent’s or any Lender’s furnishing of funds to the Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the management of any such Loans, (iii) any matter relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or by any document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (iv) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee under this Section 12.15 for any Indemnified Matter caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Such indemnification for all of the foregoing losses, damages, fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnitees are chargeable against the Loan Account. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 12.15 may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees. This Indemnity shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and the discharge of the Liens granted under the Loan Documents.

          Section 12.16 Records. The unpaid principal of and interest on the Loans, the interest rate or rates applicable to such unpaid principal and interest, the duration of such applicability, the Commitments, and the accrued and unpaid fees payable pursuant to the Fee Letter, shall at all times be ascertained from the records of the Agents, which shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

          Section 12.17 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower, each Agent and each Lender and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, each Agent and each Lender, and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign their rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Lender, and any assignment by any Lender shall be governed by Section 12.07 hereof.

          Section 12.18 Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Agent and each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document would be usurious as to any Agent or any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Agent or such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Obligations, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to any Agent or any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Obligations shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by such Agent or such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to the

- 102 -

Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to any Agent or any Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Agent or such Lender to the Borrower). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to such Agent or such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Loans until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law. If at an time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to any Agent or any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender pursuant to this Section 12.18 and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Agent or such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Agent or such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 12.18.

          For purposes of this Section 12.18, the term “applicable law” shall mean that law in effect from time to time and applicable to the loan transaction between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the other, that lawfully permits the charging and collection of the highest permissible, lawful non-usurious rate of interest on such loan transaction and this Agreement, including laws of the State of New York and, to the extent controlling, laws of the United States of America.

          The right to accelerate the maturity of the Obligations does not include the right to accelerate any interest that has not accrued as of the date of acceleration.

          Section 12.19 Confidentiality. Each Agent and each Lender agrees (on behalf of itself and each of its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and representatives) to use reasonable precautions to keep confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound practices of comparable companies, any material non-public information supplied to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which is identified in writing by the Borrower as being confidential at the time the same is delivered to such Person (and which at the time is not, and does not thereafter become, publicly available or available to such Person from another source not known to be subject to a confidentiality obligation to such Person not to disclose such information), provided that nothing herein shall limit the disclosure of any such

- 103 -

information (i) to the extent required by statute, rule, regulation or judicial process, (ii) to counsel for any Agent or any Lender, (iii) to examiners, auditors, accountants or Securitization Parties, (iv) in connection with any litigation to which any Agent or any Lender is a party or (v) to any assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) so long as such assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) first agrees, in writing, to be bound by confidentiality provisions similar in substance to this Section 12.19. Each Agent and each Lender agrees that, upon receipt of a request or identification of the requirement for disclosure pursuant to clause (iv) hereof, it will make reasonable efforts to keep the Borrower informed of such request or identification; provided that the Borrower acknowledges that each Agent and each Lender may make disclosure as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof and that each Agent and each Lender may be subject to review by Securitization Parties or other regulatory agencies and may be required to provide to, or otherwise make available for review by, the representatives of such parties or agencies any such non-public information.

          Section 12.20 Section Headings. Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement.

          Section 12.21 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof.

- 104 -

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, as of the date first above written.
